Mattswaggz: It's annoying bro.....when you reason all these things and realize that Nigeria is still far from catching up with other saner climes and is showing no signs at all.... instead it is embracing backwardness.

Savageman247: A Nigerian man has ignited conversations on social media after revealing the list of items his family was asked to provide by one of his village groups following the death of his mother.
The man, Emeka Nobis, disclosed that he and his brother recently attended meetings in their mother's village as part of the traditional burial process. According to him, they met separately with three groups: the Umunna (men of the kindred), Umuada (women of the kindred), and Alurudi (women married into the kindred).
He explained that each group presented its own set of requirements before the burial rites could proceed. Nobis shared one of the lists online, showing numerous food items and refreshments expected to be provided for members of the group.
The post quickly attracted widespread reactions, with many Nigerians questioning why grieving families should face such financial obligations while mourning the loss of a loved one.
Reflecting on the experience, Nobis revealed that his mother died at the age of 71 after a prolonged battle with cancer that had already cost the family millions of naira in medical expenses. Because of her age, he said she was classified under the highest burial category in his community, with the family also expected to provide a cow as part of the traditional rites.
Despite the demands, he said he and his brother have chosen to approach the discussions calmly while engaging community leaders in constructive conversations.
Sharing the reason behind making the experience public, Nobis wrote that he wanted to document the realities of traditional burial practices in his part of Igboland, prepare others who may one day go through a similar process, and encourage conversations about reforming customs that place heavy financial burdens on bereaved families.
"Culture can be modified. It's left to us to challenge these practices as years go by. I'm pretty sure that it definitely will happen," he wrote.
His post has since sparked a broader debate online, with many arguing that some traditional burial practices should be reviewed to reduce the financial and emotional burden on grieving families, while others maintained that cultural customs should be preserved but adapted to reflect present-day economic realities.
They are always in a hurry to increase the price but very reluctant to revert to the old price. I can say that this has always been the dream of every importer/marketer. But it's high time we start asking what is happening to our crude oil? Has it finished?
Catapault: BUT WERE THE REFORMS SUPPOSED TO FIX NIGERIA IN 1 OR 2 YEARS?
How many years was it supposed to fix? Didn't you see the speed with which price of petrol up immediately he said that subsidy is gone? Why are they always fast in doing what will cause pain but if its to do what will make the people enjoy, they start dragging their feet. Why are running 3 budgets at once as a country?
AMINDA: She never held any position under Buhari. This was the lady that was alleged to be Sanwo-olu's mistress. There were also allegations that Sanwo-olu donated to Atiku’s campaign through her. This is just a paranoid man going after a businesswoman whom he suspects may be wanting to fund his opponents. It's the same case with the Bashir Haske guy that he went after. Businessmen and women funding political campaigns is not a crime. He can't swear that Elumelu and the likes of Abdulsamad never donated to his own campaign.
In other words, EFCC iss just an axe to swing at ones opponents.
Rapmoney: I have seen some leaked chats between Asaba content creator, Ifeanyi Ogbonna aka Odogwu Asaba and the girl he raped, Favour before she committed suicide. From the chats, I was able to understand that:
1. She did not just kill herself because she was raped by Odogwu Asaba. The man kept on threatening her that she should go ahead and involve the police.
2. Ifeanyi Ogbonna aka Odogwu Asaba did not handle the issue properly. He did not compensate her enough as she had expected for his act. I don't need to explain this in details. Let the chats do the explanation.
3. I do not think this is the first time Odogwu Asaba has done something like this. It could be that the other young girls he forcefully slept with did not escalate the issue because they accepted the peanuts he gave them.
4. I would not want to speak evil of the dead, but our young girls should be very careful. What was she planning to go and do in Abuja if Odogwu Asaba did not discourage her from going? I am sure she wasn't going to Abuja for a church crusade. What if the man in Abuja had used her for ritual purposes?
5. The inadequacy of due compensation and threats from Odogwu Asaba escalated the issue and led to her death.
My last words:
• If you are a lady, do not travel to see a man you do not know. Anything can happen. Protect your life. May social media and content creation not destroy the lives of our young people.
• As A man, it is better to visit a brothel than to rape a woman. It can ruin your life and future plans.

HacheNoire: Not too good with romance or family topics but I just want to encourage men and women out there about not falling into a relationships with someone who has a puppy love.
Love at adulthood can be broken through discipline and dedication, as it is very easy for matured minds to move on and rededicate their affections.
The case does not apply to puppy lovers. I can attest that they are one of the most dangerous humans on Earth. They can be in same environment, pretend like they don’t know each other while they are still intimate. The worst part is that, they don’t both see it has a crime or forbidden act.
They have been intimate since childhood to adulthood and have perfected their tricks. When they don’t marry each other doom is guaranteed, and you just borrowing someone’s wife. The luck you might have is that, you might never know cos these sets are dangerous.
They will never leave that relationship till one of them dies.
In conclusion, when a man or lady mistakenly tells you she had a guy in her primary schools days who she was sexually active with till university days, just run for your life.
Another interesting things is that, these set of dangers still have relationship issues between themselves despite being married, which is always loud cos as a viewer, you start getting to know they have hidden secrets they share which you might get to decode when both are angry at each other and throwing verbal tantrums.
Please note, I am not saying don’t get married to someone who has been in past relationships. I am only emphasizing on those who had puppy love.
It's unfortunate that we have let materialism and making everything transactional. Hence we loose our sense of humanity. That is why most people can't even keep a relationship.
Dmthreads: I need to get something off my chest, because I think a lot of us have normalized something that genuinely shouldn't be normal.
A friend of mine — university graduate, skilled, works in a demanding role — recently told me her monthly salary. I won't put the exact figure here, but let's just say it was embarrassingly low for the amount of work, hours, and stress involved. When I asked why she hasn't pushed back or looked elsewhere, her answer was simple: "at least I have a job."
That sentence alone tells you everything about the power employers hold in this country right now.
"At least you have a job" has become an excuse for exploitation
Because unemployment is so high, employers know they don't have to pay fairly — there's always somebody desperate enough to accept whatever is offered. So salaries stay stagnant, workloads increase, and the moment you complain, you're quietly reminded that ten other people would gladly take your position at half the stress tolerance.
Salary secrecy protects the employer, not the employee
Most Nigerian workplaces treat salary information like classified government intelligence. You're often not even allowed to know what your colleague doing the same job earns. This secrecy benefits nobody but the company — because if people knew how unevenly (and sometimes unfairly) pay is distributed internally, there would be real pushback.
"Experience" is used as payment
Especially for young graduates — companies dangle "exposure" and "experience" as if it should replace an actual living wage. Meanwhile rent, transport, and food don't accept "experience" as payment.
Job hopping gets frowned upon, but staying loyal rarely gets rewarded either
Stay too long without much salary movement, and you're seen as complacent. Leave for better pay elsewhere, and you're labeled "not loyal" or "job-hopper." Employees can't win either way, while employers benefit from both the guilt-tripping and the underpayment.
Skilled workers are undervalued until they leave the country
Funny enough, the same skills that earn "we can't afford to pay you well" here suddenly become worth 5-10x more the moment someone relocates abroad. That alone tells you the issue was never really about the value of the skill — it's about what employers can get away with paying, locally.
This isn't about entitlement, it's about fairness
Working hard should reasonably translate to being paid what your labor is actually worth, not just enough to survive while a company profits comfortably off your underpayment.
I think a big part of shifting this starts with us actually talking about pay more openly instead of treating it as a taboo topic, and being willing to walk away from roles that don't value us — as difficult as that is in this economy.
What's the most underpaid you've ever been for the amount of work you were doing? And do you think Nigerians will ever get more comfortable discussing salaries openly with each other? 👇
Nobody should blame Dangote, rather NNPCL should be asked what happened to the crude for naira deal they had with Dangote. Dangote is a businessman and hence would want to make profit. Let's also not forget that Dangote is importing the crude he's refining.
I'm still of the opinion that Adeyemi is only a "ball boy" in this case. The main culprits are in Aso Rock and won't be touched. Because this level of scam can't be done by one person alone.
